I would really advice everyone to read this book atleast once. It influences the way we think and act. It helps us to improve our lifestyle and behaviour. Really useful tips explained in the simplest manner possible.

A good and easy read with principles that are not time-bound and last an entire lifetime. Obviously, it is Americanised in many ways, and often takes efforts to relate to many stories of a typical American life. It contains lots of examples and stories to establish the point. However, I feel that rather than giving a bunch of examples, it may do the task by putting one solid example.

The book talks about "Do this, do that". Often, it feels too much unclear and overly promising dramatic. As if the author thinks that doing anything is just as easy as it sounds.

One-liner summary: A good read for a beginner to learn about life, however for depth lovers, it could be shortened or made a bit dense.

Fun fact: The book travelled with me and I read it in two countries: Germany and Denmark.

This book is still relevant after all these years. Success principles are also universal, so it's hard to overstate how much Schwartz reveals to is readers--even in the 21st century. It's an easy read, but it's powerful. I often found myself stopping after a few paragraphs to examine my habits or daily routines to see where I need to make adjustment. This is my second time reading this book.

I don't feel like this book brought any breakthrough ideas to me. The "case studies" seemed too ideal to be true and the few women that appeared in this book were sadly either housewives or the unsuccessful ones.
